And that's late spring, so I'm a wee bit envious of your "cool day" and would take some of that heat! ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-21255951083213654322014-05-03T09:10:53.753-07:002014-05-03T09:10:53.753-07:00It just seems to make sense to do the pie crusts i...It just seems to make sense to do the pie crusts in multiples, doesn't it?

I've written down the book titles you've mentioned and will be looking for them in the library. <br />I think I'd like Call the Midwife - I saw a half a program a couple of months ago. Television viewing has been rather infrequent here lately with all the good weather we've enjoyed.

One of my cousins whipped up a fisherman pie when I was visiting:leeks, fish, cheese, egg, cream and potato. I'm going to try to find a leaner version when I get home. Harriet's hair is so thick and red now. We travel to Cornwall tomorrow to meet with the walking group.

I loved the Call the Midwife books and I loved the first season of the show. It's started to get very broad (I believe this is the third season now) and it's not anywhere near as good. Mind you, I still watch it cuz it's passable. But I may be tuning out if they don't get back on their game soon. It's become gratuitous, IMO.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-15672309106272473812014-05-02T07:01:02.153-07:002014-05-02T07:01:02.153-07:00Yes, I love Call the Midwives.
